I`m 34 weeks pregnant and i think my baby has the hiccups every so often. Anyone else heard of this-- is it a warning sign of anything?

vikki - 1213 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) NO! They do get them! It's the inhaling of the fluid just like when we get them inhaling air. It's actually quite funny when you know everything is alright. One of mine would hic-cup so much that I could tell that she would get cross about it because after awhile she would start kicking and fidgeting even more. She is 17 now and still gets mad witht eh hic-cups!!!!! I'm expecting #7 and they ALL got them. This one ( I am 25wks) started getting them last night. It's a funny feeling. It's a good thing as the baby is using it's lungs really well:-)

kenty - 1213 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) hiccups are absolutely normal, it's just the baby taking in the fluid. mine has hiccups pretty often, sometimes up to 4times a day

soon2bmommaof2 - 1213 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My little one has the hiccups A LOT! I know at least 3 - 5 times a day and some days more. And sometimes they seem to last forever.

Lorien - 1213 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) All 4 of mine have had hiccups pretty much everyday from the 30th week on. It is a good thing and means that things are working the way they are supposed to :-). You can even use hiccups for kick counts if you are doing them.

sweetbabyboy - 1213 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My son had them all the time when I was preggers with him probably 3 times a day at least!!!! its completly normal don't worry about it.

mandeevicious - 1213 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) course not. babies do a bunch of stuff in the womb, get used to it cuz theres a lot of times when babies have the hiccups in there.

jaydsmom - 1213 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It is very normal. My baby gets them every day, at least once a day. I find it kind of funny and at the same time reassuring because I can definitely feel him moving then. I am 39 weeks.
